Why Gaga Became Gaga

Lady GaGa Reveals Her Musical Inspiration

To this day Lady GaGa said that her ex-lover was the main one who has helped her with the inspiration on most of her music and she gives full credit to him with inspiring her in almost all of her songs. Lady Gaga is known for many hits but the one that almost everyone remembers is “Poker Face” and her most recent hit includes “Telephone”.

Lady GaGa is convinced that the reason why she's able to write like she does is that it's because of her ex boyfriend Luke who was a heavy metal drummer. She said that after the break up she made a vow that she would never love anyone else again. She goes on further to say that she knows she wouldn't be successful without him. She really loved him and hasn't loved anyone like that since nor before him.

Lady GaGa goes on with saying that if she knew everything there was to know about love she feels that she wouldn’t be good at making music and that things happen for a reason. This break up was hard on her but has helped her in a lot of ways such as with music.

Sarah Jessica Parker And Matthew Broderick Hit The Harry Potter Premiere With James Wilkie

During the interviews they shared that they had read up to book 4 together, with James adding that he read book 5 by himself, but had stopped there.

Tony Sparano

Tony Sparano a Logical Fit to Replace Wade Phillps in Dallas

With a 41-35 loss to the NY Giants on Monday night the Dallas Cowboys fall to 1-5 and sit in last place in the NFC East. Many prognosticators pegged the Cowboys as the first team ever to host a super bowl in their home stadium. Now with the loss of Tony Romo to a broken clavicle, all super bowl hopes can be flushed down the toilet and the boys can begin to look to next season.

Jerry Jones has repeatedly backed Wade Phillips and with an ego the size of Texas, do not look for a change midseason. Replacing Phillips would also require the hiring of a new defensive coordinator and no one on the current staff has stood out. After all, this Dallas team gave up over 500 yards of offense and 31 points in a 15 minute stretch to the Giants. The secondary was repeatedly torched making Eli Manning look like older brother Peyton going 14 for 15 with 3 touchdowns in that same stretch.

Paris Hilton Arrested

Paris Hilton Arrested for Cocaine Possession

Paris Hilton always manages to stay in the news. Less than a week ago, an intruder, Nathan Lee Parada, armed with two knives tried to break into her home and was confronted by her boyfriend.

“So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes,” Hilton tweeted. She posted a photo of the suspect in handcuffs being taken away from her Mullholland Estates home.

And then on Friday night, Paris Hilton was making headlines again when she was arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly having cocaine in her purse. She was booked into jail, and then later released.

Apparently Hilton was riding in a black Cadillac Escalade near the Wynn hotel when a Las Vegas Police motorcycle officer smelled marijuana coming from her vehicle. The police pulled over the Escalade and a crowd began to gather on the Strip, so Hilton asked to go into the Wynn for privacy. That’s when she made a critical mistake.

“Miss Hilton pulled out a tube of lip balm,” police Sgt. John Sheahan said. “At the same time … a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out of her purse.” — right in front of police in the room.

Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession. Her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, was driving the Escalade and was also arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Alyson Hannigan Alexis

Did you ever think someone with such a simple and the elegant hairstyle could ooze so much sex appeal? Well Allison Hannigan certainly did. She had this style long ago that gave her so much confidence and it seems like it's done so effortless.

Tired of having long hair and want a fresh new look then go for this easy to maintain hair cut. The trick is if you've quite high cheekbones to avoid having a very bland cut add in a fringe. If you are a bit weary of a fringe you can opt for the safer look, which is a slightly longer fringe swept to one side. An added bonus is that it enhances your collar bone creating a bare illusion.

Prince William Engaged

Prince William Engaged, Bride Kate Middleton and Royal Wedding Plans!

Prince William  and Kate Middleton  are getting married. The royal engagement was announced in London on Tuesday and it's expected to be the wedding of the century. The royal couple who have been dating for 3 years, have decided to finally tie the knot. When is the big day for the future King and Queen of England?

The Queen of England released the following royal statement to the press: “The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”

“Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya. Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family.

Kim Kardashian In Love Triangle

Reggie Bush Girlfriend Love Triangle, Mayra Veronica and Ex Kim Kardashian

Is Reggie Bush  involved in a love triangle with Kim Kardashian  and the Mayra Veronica?  In a recent interview, Kim Kardashian has claimed that she is not dating anyone and loves being single.  On Twitter, Kim has been sending flirty messages to ex boyfriend, Miles Austin. Recently on her reality show, Keeping Up With Kardashian, Kim put Reggie Bush on blast and exposed his jealous side.

Reggie Bush in the game of love, is reportedly romantically involved with Latin pop star, Mayra Veronica. Is the Kim Kardashian lookalike his new girlfriend? Or is our Pisces boy emotionally confused?

TaleTela reported that Mayra Veronica was spotted grocery shopping wearing a Reggie Bush New Orleans Saints jersey. Nothing like a little publicity while you are buying some milk and eggs. Mayra posed suggestively for the awaiting paparazzi in a short white skirt, while she bent over to place her shopping bags in the car. Gee, why so subtle Mayra?

Reggie Bush born the astrology star sign of Pisces is an emotional guy. I’m sure being in a relationship with Kim Kardashian wasn’t easy. The possessive type, I’m sure Reggie and Kim had plenty of fights. A romantic guy, he likes to spoil his ladies and Kim a Libra, definitely likes the bling. Reggie Bush’s  new lady, Mayra Veronica a Leo girl, is a hot Latina full of passion. She loves drama, being the center of attention and is probably more pushy than Kim.

Astrologically, I don’t see Reggie Bush and Mayra Veronica as a long term relationship. I think her personality is too over the top for Reggie in the long run. Plus, Astrochicks thinks Kim Kardashian is way hotter than Mayra Veronica, although both have junk in the trunk.  Of course love is blind but in the end, I think Reggie Bush will score love with someone other than Mayra. Stay tuned.

Tom Felton Future

The movie adaptations of the best selling Harry Potter fantasy novels by author J. K. Rowling, for which he auditioned at age 12.

With filming for the Harry Potter over, has spoken out about the hopes and fears he now has for life since production is done.

Shooting for the 8th and final film wrapped up last Saturday, and Felton says he is not sure where his career will take him now. He feels that doing such films and scenes with actors like Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs is much likened to experiencing ten years of lessons.

Emma Watson Scandal

Emma Watson Shocked Over Fake Photo Scandal

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” actress Emma Watson is the shocked over her recent photo scandal at her school, Brown University, the Daily Mail is reporting. Watson is trying to find out who e-mailed the fake image of her wearing nothing but a towel around her waist to her classmates so she can put a stop to it.

Miley Cyrus Might Shed Clean Cut Image

Miley Cyrus also known as Hannah Montana is to the star in a brand new movie called “Wake” and during this film it looks like she will be cutting her clean cut image for good which does not surprise people but it does disappoint a few of her fans.

Miley Cyrus is only 17 years old but recently said that she wants to really focus with doing a lot of movies in the next few years. There's a new movie that's coming out known called The Paranormal Thriller and she's preparing for a very grown up role in this movie. The movie is about a teenage girl that gets sucked in people’s dreams and after that it ends up being a living nightmare.

Wake is part of a series of 3 books so it looks like Miley is going to be busy for awhile with the new role and part that she is doing because it looks like Cyrus is the favorite for the lead role and she's hoping for this chance because people might start looking at her as a adult instead of being a child. She might gain some new fans with the new role she could be taking on.

Mariah Carey Fights Vet Lawsuit

Mariah Carey has pet pooches and her lawyer dismissed the claim that was made saying that she had around 20,000 pounds to pay in medical fees with the vets for the ones that took care of her pooches.

Mariah Carey was sued by Veterinarian Cindy Bressler and the accused her of paying only 5,487 pounds when she actually owed 25,193 pounds and had the bill to prove of all of the services that she did for her dogs. Orin Snyder is Carey’s attorney and he feels that Mariah should fight the law suit. He feels that the lawsuit is just a stunt and feels that because of Mariah’s confident attitude that it's going to be dismissed.

People feel that it would also do Mariah good to fight it out more so if she really does not need to pay them and if it’s a stunt then those people need to be revealed and put to a stop of their work. Mariah Carey is willing to go along with it and her attorney is going to be helping her during the case. No one knows at this point what the outcome might be.

Democracy Is Dead

The Secret Plan to End Democracy in America

We'd do well to review elements of the USA Patriot Act, passed by Congress a month after the Sept 11th attacks. Among other things, the new law made it a crime for anybody to contribute money or material support for a group that appeared on the Terror Watch List. It allowed the FBI to monitor and tape-record conversations between attorneys and clients, once considered privileged. It let the FBI order librarians to turn over information about people's reading habits. And it opened the door for government surveillance on our e-mails and snail-mails.

Dancing With The Stars Spoiler

Dancing With The Stars Finals, Brandy and Maks Elimination, Fan Shocker?

Dancing With the Stars finals, warning this is an elimination spoiler. Jennifer Grey the fan favorite to win, waltzed into the finals along with Kyle Massey . The audience on pins and needles, who'd they send home tonight, Brandy Norwood  or Bristol Palin? Bristol who's become America’s Sweetheart, is definitely the most improved dancer this season. I think she not only surprised the judges but the home audience as well.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt Has Been Visiting A Psychic

Just recently reports came in that Brad Pitt has been seeing a psychic and that he has been getting some guidance about his relationship with the Angelina Jole. He's getting some help from a spiritual adviser and the adviser confirmed that he was going to her for readings.

The adviser went on to further say that he knows him personally and thinks that he's a very spiritual person. Some people said that they're worried about the relationship that he's with Jolie but the adviser said that he can't talk about the relationship nor what is going on because it would break his confidentiality and that he doesn't want that. Brad feels that the adviser is a source of inspiration, and comfort during very hard times and that he's really helped him.

People hope that this adviser is able to help the relationship with Angelina and Brad because they've kids and they need to learn how to stay together through everything regardless of what all happens. They need to be strong and loving parents which can only be truly accomplished if they love each other deeply but if they do divorce they still need to learn how to get along together for the kids.

Billy Ray Cyrus And Kim Kardashian

This Week's Shining & Falling Stars: Billy Ray Cyrus And Kim Kardashian

Shining Star: Billy Ray Cyrus: This may be a first: congratulating someone for rocking a mullet. But props must go out to the Billy Ray Cyrus for bravely donning the “business in the front, party in the back” hairdo just a few weeks after announcing a split from his wife of 17 years.

The occasion for the blast from the past coif? Wednesday’s Country Music Awards in Nashville. It was 1st public appearance by Miley’s dad since filing for divorce from his wife, Tish, amid rumors that she had an affair with rocker Bret Michaels. Both Tish and Michaels deny the relationship.

Maybe Cyrus is on the something – the best cure for an achy, breaky heart might just be a mullet.

There may be only one thing that's worse than this scenario: you are a single, 30-year-old woman, crying into a tub of Chunky Monkey ice cream, and contemplating if you will ever find a man. So what's a far more unfortunate fate? As you fill up that ice cream carton with tears, you spot the latest cover of People magazine featuring Kim Kardashian.

The reality show star solemnly poses for the glossy with the headline, "I Thought I'd Be Married By Now". That's right, the sometimes socialite/actress/model, who's known for her killer curves and for gracing the pages of Playboy magazine, is complaining about not being able to find true love. Gag me.

While the cover’s headline may be a bit misleading (Kardashian does say living the single life makes her feel "powerful") she also indicates that she can't wait to land a man. She tells the mag that it's sooo tough having 2 sisters who have beaus, saying, "It's definitely a change for me. I have always been the one in a relationship. I like that role, I want that best friend partnership."

Feel bad for a beauty who's loads of dough and seemingly endless options in men? 3 words for Kim: boo fricking hoo.

Harry Potter Star Emma Watson

Harry Potter Star Emma Watson Enjoys College Life

‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson is enjoying her collegiate experience at the Brown University. She especially seems to like the unstructured lifestyle.

    “It was so liberating. I’d be smiling to myself and friends would say, ‘Emma, what’s wrong?’ and I’d say, ‘I am just happy’. I take pleasure in the smallest thinks. Like, I’m going to wake up at 10 o’clock if I want to. Or, I’m going to eat a sandwich now.

    “I've such a structure when I’m working on ‘Potter’. I get told what time I get picked up. I get told what time I can eat, when I've time to go to the bathroom. Every single second of my day isn't in my power.”

That doesn't sound like a fun way to live! But I hope Emma’s able to find some kind of balance: I’d miss her if she didn’t do any more movies.

Map Quest Directions

New MapQuest Directions API Built on the Open Data

Online driving directions pioneer MapQuest had the first free directions web service a year ago. Now it followed up with the same engine based on the wiki-like Open Street Map data. The new, open service follows an open version of the MapQuest tiles.

MapQuest’s David Nesbitt made the announcement via a talk at State of the Map United States a conference for Open Street Map enthusiasts.

Revolt Against Tsa

Revolt Against the TSA Body Scanners Leaves Racist Options

As a frequent flier the Transportation Safety Administration airport passenger search process gives comfort to this one. The latest part of a process from arrival to plane boarding has kept the American traveler largely safe from another 9-11 incident. The only thing bothersome was the view, for a time, that TSA workers singled out blacks for inspection more than whites or anyone else.

There was the time my then-74-year-old mom was singled out randomly by a large, unattractive loudmouth sista who I threatened to have fired from her job at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport for speaking inappropriately to her.

Come to think of it, I've not seen her since then.

More recently, the use of better machines, universally applied, like the TSA Body Scanner, have made concerns that passengers would be singled out by race far less. Only now, some passengers do not want to be the subject of a full-body scan.

According to The Washington Post, "A groundswell of anger has rippled through the nation's airports," by people who don't want their bodily attributes or lack thereof exposed, literally, by body scanners.  Such people probably aren't black, because if they were, they'd express joy over the knowledge that some white guy or gal's getting the same TSA scrutiny, rather than ask for it to stop.

That's why I say "Keep it going."  The TSA Body Scanner eliminates a racist option.  Everyone should be scanner before they go about the act of flying on a plane.

Veterans Day Poems

Paul Knox Middle students honor local veterans

Aiken County schools are honoring our country's veterans all this week. One of the programs was at Paul Knox Middle School in the North Augusta. The students say the greatest gift they can give veterans is to not only say "thank you" but to truly understand what they have done for our country.
 

Kids gathered in the gym, some clapping and others waving flags. Eighth-grader Jacqueline Phillips says she's excited to be part of the festivity. "It shows that we have freedom in America, and we can do as we please, but I am really proud of all the veterans, so that's why it's so important to me." She says it's important to know the meaning behind the day. "The veterans have fought to protect this wonderful nation."

Jason Garrett

Garrett takes Cowboys reins from fired Phillips

Jerry Jones fired Dallas head coach Wade Phillips on the Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take over the Cowboys (1-7) on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni replaced Phillips as defensive coordinator.

Jones, the Cowboys' owner-general manager, decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday nighttime. It was the Cowboys' 5th straight loss and they've allowed at least 35 points in 3 straight games, which had not happened since Dallas went 0-11-1 in its inaugural season, 1960.

Puerile

ANCYL’s Mining Comments ‘puerile’ – Times LIVE

The contribution that the league makes to sensible and enlightened debate on issues of the national importance is lamentable and is consistently characterised by a crude proclivity to descend into abusive and intimidatory rhetoric,” he said in a statement.

Diliza said the chamber had “noted the puerile and insulting responses of the ANC Youth League to observations made on nationalisation of the mining industry by the chamber’s outgoing President Sipho Nkosi”.

At the right time, in the correct forum and with individuals and institutions appropriately qualified to participate in a logical discourse that is not contaminated by vacuous utterances, the chamber will constructively and vigorously present it is well considered perspectives on the issue of nationalisation,” he said.

Michael Jackson Breaking News

Hear Michael Jackson's Breaking New

First of all, Breaking News Is not the "new" Michael Jackson single. Not sure if you heard, but the King of Pop passed away in June 2009. No, this song (supposedly recorded in 2007) is merely a teaser for his forthcoming album, Michael, due on 14 December – a collection of songs recorded over the last decade and ended by various producers since his death. As with anything to do with Jackson – alive or dead – the album comes laden with controversy, with various members of his family claiming that not all the tracks feature his vocals.

So, what's Breaking News actually like? Opening with a series of samples from news broadcasts it's not too dissimilar to Tabloid Junkie, a song from his 1995 History album, with Jackson tackling media paranoia and victimisation (the 1st line is "Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson"). 

For all the talk of Jackson working with producers like RedOne, Will.i.am and Mark Ronson before his death, the beat that drops after the intro is dated, all synth strings and perfunctory drum claps. Having listened to Jackson's music non-stop as a teenager, the vocal comes as a shock because it does not really sound like him. Deeper and somehow flatter than on his last album, 2001's Invincible, it sounds like a heavily treated guide vocal. There are the obligatory "hee hees", but as the synthetic horns and vinyl scratches appear in the final 3rd, Breaking News feels like a song Jackson would not have been happy to release. There's also something strangely disturbing about lines such as "he wants to write my obituary", while the news samples at the beginning are staged to sound as if they are referring to Jackson in the past tense, as if his obsession with his mistreatment at the hands of the press continues from beyond the grave.

Zab Judah

Zab Judah earns tough split decision over Lucas Matthysse

Zab "Super" Judah took the next step on the road to another title shot Saturday, albeit in the ugly style, scraping by previously undefeated Lucas Matthysse via split decision at the Prudential Center in Newark.

The decision was razor thin, with judges Waleska Roldan scoring it 114-113 in favor of Matthysse, but overruled by judges Joseph Pasquale and Hilton Whitaker who both scored it 114-113 in favor of Judah.

Judah, fighting in the junior welterweight division for the 1st time in almost 7 years, was tentative for much of the fight, content to fight out of a tight guard against the rugged, hard-hitting Argintean. And he had to get off the deck, after a string of straight rights put Judah down in the tenth.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Radio City Christmas Spectacular: A Wonderful Tradition For The Whole Family

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show is a wonderful Christmas tradition that the whole family will enjoy. I can still remember my parents taking me to the New York City when I was only 5 years old to see The Radio City Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.

I remember sitting in my seat and being in complete awe of the Rockettes, and dreaming of being on stage with them someday. Turns out that dancing was not in the cards for me, but I still love watching the Rockettes in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular to this day.Read More

Remember Remember The 5th of November

Remember, remember the 5th of November: 2 reasons to celebrate

It’s November. 5, a date of high significance that pop culture courteously makes sure we will not forget.

In Great Britain, of course, it’s Guy Fawkes Day, an annual occasion that celebrates the day in 1605 when the assassination plot of King James I was foiled and a man by the name of Fawkes was arrested for his role in the effort. It’s also a great excuse for Londoners to set off fireworks and for the rest of us to either read an Alan Moore comic book series or watch the movie adaptation of said comic series: “V for Vendetta,” an underestimated 2006 film starring one of this year’s Osar-buzziest ladies, Natalie Portman.

Then there’s that other really authoritative thing that happened on November. 5 — specifically, Nov. 5, 1955, the day that Doc Emmett Brown slipped, hit his head and invented the flux capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible. We owe him an immense debt of gratitude. Without Brown’s contribution, we could not have spent half of last week debating this viral video.Read More:

Voting Locations By Zip Code

Voting Locations By Zip Code: Polling Locator Guide

There are a number of ways where you can find your voting locations by postal code, such as apps, internet site and Google Maps. The most obvious choice to most would be with the latter, as this is accessible to all computers and smartphones, which we discussed in a recent post.

For those of you who would like an alternative to Google, then the Polling Locator from Polling Places is another great way to find these locations. All you need to do is enter your residence street address and Zip Code and the locator tool will do all the hard work for you.

Another option is the VoterHub app, which is free. Not only can you get details on where you can vote, but also information on each candidate. This app isn't like some of those that will stop working later today, you can get details on future elections, as well as register to vote if you have not already done so.

These are just 3 ways where you can find the location of where you need to vote, which one will you use? If you know of any other, then please let us know?

Blekko

Blekko SE To Rely On The Human Touch

A small Silicon Valley company with some big name backers will release a test version of a new SE that the company says has a key ingredient that is missing from Google, the human touch.

According to Blekko, the Web has increasingly become saturated with spam-like websites, specially designed to pop up in Google's search answers but whose content is heavier on marketing pitches than substantive information.

The remedy, Blekko Chief Executive Rich Skrenta told Reuters, is to narrow searches to groups of websites that people, not computers, have pre-approved as being the best sources of information for particular topics.

The approach is decidedly old-school in an industry where computer algorithms developed by engineers at Google and Microsoft Corp have for years been considered the ideal way to find information in the sea of online data.

Blekko has raised $24 millions in funding as it's developed its product over the past three years, with angel investors including Marc Andreessen, the creator of the 1st browser, and Ron Conway, who's invested in tech companies including Twitter, Foursquare and even Google.

Blekko joins a long list of search engines that have tried to improve upon Google's business, with a less-than-stellar track record. Cuil, a high-profile search engine launched by former Google employees in 2008, quietly shut down in Sept; Powerset, a search engine that let people ask questions in plain the English, was acquired by Microsoft in 2008.

Greg Sterling, an Internet consultant and a contributing editor for the online blog SE Land, said he doesn't expect that Blekko will displace Google any time soon. But he said the company has developed a creative approach to search that might become popular as a secondary SE for certain types of queries.

In an emailed statement, Google said that it welcomes competition that helps users get useful information and gives people new choices. "Having great competitors is a huge benefit to us and everyone in the search space-it makes us all work harder, and at the end of the day everyone benefits from that," said Google.

Blekko is launching with a special directory of sites that can provide spam-free results in seven general search categories: health, recipes, song lyrics, hotels, automobiles, colleges and personal finance.

Blekko also allows users to create their own personal directories of websites for any topic, so that the SE only looks for information from sources the user deems relevant or trustworthy.
